iPad Holder for ZOOMing

I wrote a blog post a while ago about the lengths I went through to make an iPad holder for our ZOOM calls with the kids/grandkids.

I used an old shoe box and made this cardboard holder which worked pretty well. 

I'd looked online and saw adequate iPad holders on Amazon for $10- $20. Then there were those that were much, much, much more expensive. 

My cardboard iPad holder is not adjustable, but it was more of less OK and I was more or less satisfied.

A couple of months later, my daughter said she was surprised to find an iPad holder at an Asian discount store called Hello Tokyo in Niles, Illinois that she rarely goes to but had to stop by to see what they had on the way home from some distant outing. Everything at that store is $2. 

We have one of those discount stores in Hawaii called Daiso. Almost everything in the store is $1.50 and you can't help but buy something you might never use when you go there. Whenever local people go on tours to Japan, they would invariably stop at all the Daisos they can find in what seems like every city. There's also Seria and a number of others that I can't remember the name of. 

Well... anyway, I was really envious of Tiffany's adjustable iPad stand. Just to show you what a wonderful daughter I have, this is what we found in the next flat rate box she sent us. 

And guess what. It works perfectly! 

This might make me want to take a trip to our Daiso store here in Hawaii.
